As former Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Giroir has collaborated with NCPDP in understanding the need for pharmacy standards that improve interoperability to ease pharmacy and provider burden via in-workflow processes.”

Stember continued, “Dr. Giroir was on the front lines of the COVID-19 response as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the national lead for testing and diagnosis which supported guidance to NCPDP and our industry in enhancing NCPDP’s guidance on testing, vaccinations and billing of COVID-19 Oral Antiviral during a pandemic emergency. Dr. Giroir embodies the spirit of the Champion Award in improving healthcare for the common good through his distinguished career in his leadership positions held in the federal government and in academia.”
